Fake Smile

My name is Erika Brooklyn Wis. I'm 15. My friends say I act like a child. I disagree, but whatever. I've had a hard life. I'm not like others. I'm a nerd. But I do play a sport, no one would care to notice. I read tons of books and always get good grades. My friends are the complete opposite, they are pretty and popular. They are into dresses and makeup and boys. Not me, I stick with books. People call me names, make fun of me, even my friends. I always act happy and put on a smile. But inside, I'm dying. It hurts. I stay strong and I act like everything is okay, but it's not. I starve myself to be skinny and pretty. I wear tons of bracelets or a hoodie, because I cut my wrist. It's not like anyone would cared. Not my family, not my friends, no one. My family is too caught a up with my younger sister, Lilly. No one cares, until the new girl Tiffany Skod came to my school.
